Seoul to "calmly" prepare July Package amid negotiations with U.S. on reciprocal tariffs: Acting Pres. Lee Ju-ho

Acting President Lee Ju-ho has spoken of a calm government response to U.S. tariffs with the so-called "July Package".

At an economic meeting earlier on this Wednesday he underscored the solemn nature of the situation and pledged a package deal before the 90-day pause expires.

He added technical talks between Seoul and Washington would lay the groundwork for productive progress in bilateral negotiations led by the next Korean administration.

Meanwhile a high-level meeting with U.S. officials has been set for later this month on the margins of the APEC trade ministers' meeting with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer scheduled to visit Seoul next week.
